Resident Responsibilities

There are lots of things that you can do to help us to maintain the parks and open spaces that we manage.

These include:

• Reporting damage or vandalism to any of the parks and open spaces that we manage by contacting us. You can see a list of the areas that we manage by visiting our BVT responsibilities page.
• Taking part in any litter picks or tidy up activities that we organise
• Putting your rubbish in the litter bins that we provide and empty on a regular basis
• Clearing up your dog’s mess and using the dog mess bins provided.

It is also important that you maintain your own front garden by keeping hedges at one metre at the front, not erecting or removing hedges, walls or fences without our approval first, and keeping your garden clean and tidy.

If you know a resident in Birmingham and Telford who goes above and beyond to look after their garden, you can enter them for a BVT Garden Award.
